Jaapjan Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Pablo recommended I post my question here. During the evaluation we ran into a few problems/inconveniences. My question is when the solution will be implemented or if one is already available. The problem was this: Plastic SCM internally recognizes source files of various type in a case insensitive manner. Good on Windows! However, we are dealing with many filetypes which PlasticSCM doesn't recognize by itself. For this you have filetypes.conf. Any type you define here however, even on Windows, is case sensitive! This means that if you have many files called .vw, .Vw, .VW you will need three entries just for this file-extension to get them to be checked in as text files instead of binary! This is highly inconvenient. I belief filetypes.conf is a local computer based configuration file. Why not make it case insensitive on Windows or allow another paramater to register them as case-insensitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 You are right, the filetypes.conf does not support regular expressions, I agree it could be nice to have specially in your case where you have same extension but with different cases. We will evaluate it, that's for sure cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miller Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 We have been studying the best way to implement it, one of the ideas is making it regex capable. honestly since we are releasing BIG functionalities lately (list long to write here) this one has a lower prio. Personally I would like to see it soon, Ill PING the dev. team again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller, Done!, please download the latest 3.0.7 (3.0.187.7) filetypes.conf is case-insensitive on Windows. Tell me how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
